We Need Your Help!
The Welcoming Project has been busy getting our newest family settled into their new apartment. It will be ready this month, but the family of 5 still needs some items. If anyone has any gently used dressers, lamps, or sofas that they would be willing to donate, please contact Debbie Dunn or Mike & Sue Sames. The family would also appreciate a “newer“ computer that you no longer use or a couple of bikes for the kids. A BMX bike would be especially appreciated by the 14-year-old. Thank you!
Volunteers Needed!
Head Usher, Eric Lemke continues to seek volunteers for the roles of usher, acolyte, safety team, and YouTube recorder. This is a great way to support the faith journey of others! It’s easy! Interested? Contact Eric Lemke.
